Most of us have messed around with chatterboxes of some sort or
used to communicate jokes, feelings and messages. Chatterboxes
are fun. They are easy to make and are fun to play with and construct.
The chatterbox can be positively used as a most effective teaching
and learning tool. The chatterbox encompasses most of the multiple
intelligences in its use.
Visual and Spatial Use of colour, patterns and diagrams.
Verbal linguistic Writing, discussion, description.
Logical mathematical Patterns, logical procedures and sequences.
Kinaesthetic Construction, hands on, movement.
Interpersonal Sharing, teamwork, discussion.
Intrapersonal Reflection, personal experiences.
The chatterbox is ideally suited for the Visual, Audio or Kinaesthetic
learner.
The chatterboxes are fun to make either as a team initiative or as a
personal/ individual response or task. There is ownership in their
fabrication and the process and the outcomes involved. The
chatterbox can be used as a personal reflective tool or as a team or
shared reflection process. It can be used as a re-enforcement tool or
to investigate strategies or consolidate an idea or direction.
